Clonus Horrors Revisited

Rating: 3/10 (28 July 2005)

Ouch. I knew this movie would never live up to the hype as soon as I saw the trailer and recognized the plot as a direct steal from "Parts:The Clonus Horror" a movie a gleefully laughed at on Mystery Science Theater 3000 some years ago. Although this remake has been jazzed up and given spiffy special effects and a huge budget for blowing things up the story is just as badly thought out. The plot leaks like a sieve,life for the clones is un-fulfilling and is causing psychological problems for some (meds anyone?), the huge number of people working behind the scenes to keep things secret (that many people can't keep a secret, lowly wage slaves least of all), holographs to display the "contaminated" world (they are UNDERGROUND, just tell them that), and of course the fact that at least 50 or more people were killed in the chase scenes, no one would ever notices that in LA. Sigh but worst was the ending, it was so ripped from "Logan's Run" I expected to see Peter Ustinov waving at the clones. Yay, they are free.... in the middle of the Arizona desert... with no food or water... and no press to show the world.... right. Save your money. Save your mind.
